Opis

Topics in Stereochemistry, previously edited by "the father of stereochemistry" Ernest L. Eliel, is a longstanding, successful series covering the most important advances in the field. The much-anticipated Volume 25 includes chapters on the following topics:
* Stereochemistry of Molecules in Inclusion Crystals
* Torsional Motion of Stilbene-type Molecules in Crystals
* Supramolecular Networks of Porphyrins
* Homo- and Heterochirality in Crystals
* Supramolecular Synthesis of 1D Chains and 2D Layers in Hydrogen Bond Networks of Ureas and 2-D Pyrimidinones
* Chiral Auxiliaries Powerful for Both Enantioresolution and Determination of Absolutely Stereochemistry by X-Ray Crystallograph
* Engineering Stereospecific Reactoins in Crystals: Synthesis of Compounds with Adjacent Stereogenic Quaternary Centers by Photodecarbonylation of Crystalline Ketones
* The CH/ Hydrogen Bond: An Important Molecular Force in Controlling the Crystal Conformation of Organic Compounds and Three-Dimensional Structure of Biopolymers
* Stereoselective Thermal Solid-State Reactions
* Crystal Structures and Functionalities of Platinum (II) Complexes Controlled by Various Intermolecular Interactions

Scott E. Denmark is?a Reynold C. Fuson Professor of Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. He received his undergraduate degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1975 and his graduate degree (D.Sc. Tech.) from the ETH–Zürich in 1980. He joined the faculty at Illinois in the same year. His research interests are in structural, synthetic and mechanistic organic chemistry, and has received among many others the Eli Lilly Research Award, Procter and Gamble University Exploratory Research Program Award, and School of Chemical Sciences Teaching Award, UIUC.

Jay S. Siegel is a professor at the Organic Chemistry Institute at the University of Zurich.? He received his undergraduate degree from California State University and his MA and PhD from Princeton University. His research interests include molecular design, chemical synthesis, and structural analysis, the three principle components of modern stereochemistry.
